She suggested I give a party for my DD for passing the state boards for nursing.

Well, I took that suggestion. I'm planning a surprise party and I've recruited my grandsons and future son-in-law to help. It's hard sneaking around her because she's such a hands on mom.

Anyway, they (the kids) are looking through her cell phone to get numbers of her friends for me. I'm in the process of recruiting her childhood friend, whom I've always just adored, to have it at her house. My little matchbox manor won't hold very many people. Her friend has a 3,500 sq ft home.

Thanks for the suggestion, now to pull it off! She's getting her schedule in a few days, so we'll know what day we can do it. Also, several of her friends live about 2 hours away.

mare~that is so wonderful! I know DD will be very happy!

Oh, and **shame** on lilybelle for suggesting something so nice!!! LOL!

LOL, when I saw this thread title I thought "OMG, what have I done now". It sounds like great fun, I'm sure she will appreciate it greatly and it's much more personal than going to a restaurant. Have a fun time. Lily

I thought you would think that. What on earth did I say to this complete stranger to make her sneak around? What is that fool sneaking around doing? I'm glad she isn't my neighbor. Am I going to have to her if I ever meet her?

I really wanted you to see that I took your suggestion. Thanks again.

You are welcome. Have fun.

CONGRATS to your DD!
